My dad is looking to upgrade his laptop he has had for a while now, and he needs a solid mid range laptop (between $500-700 preferably) that has a great battery and can stay cool without a chill pad. He uses it a lot for YouTube, email and online chess. Not a power user, so a good battery and well designed case are more important than anything else.

Any suggestions?

Thanks dudes.

Inspiron 15 7000 Series Touch

 

 

The Dell Inspiron 15 7000 brings a fresh look to the Inspiron line while keeping a focus on fast performance and, most importantly, long battery life. This sexy and affordable mainstream notebook provided us with 9 hours and 26 minutes of Wi-Fi Web surfing, making it an ideal companion for working and playing on the go.

 

 

Not my words but from an independent review 

 

Worth mentioning is that many newer notebook type computers have integrated batteries, this can be problematic and expensive when the battery expires as it will often require the services of a tech/store to swap out the battery, the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 does not have this problem.

Looks like a great machine! Great price, features and reviews make this one a good fit. The chassis looks well designed too so my dad doesn't look like he will have to worry about it getting too hot.
